    The 503 and 582 are both good engines but quite different. The 503 is air cooled and the 582 is liquid cooled and each has its advantages and disadvantages. They are both 2-stroke engines and are reliable if you take very good care of them. They require more personal attention than Lycommings and other 4-stroke engines like the Rotax 912. On the plus side they are simpler than 4-stroke and fairly easy to do most maintenance if you take the time to learn how to do it. I strongly recommend attending one of the Rotax 2-stroke schools for Rotax owners. This will give you all the info you need to fly and maintain either the 503 or 582 with confidence. If you move to an ELSA from a Cherokee, as I did too several years ago, you'll also have to get used to the much lower inertia of LSAs during landing flair. Overall, the move for me was a great improvement in almost every respect. Much better performance in all respects except for cruise speed and passenger carrying capacity, compared to a Cherokee.
